The whole point of this blog is to bring some coherence into my ramblings. Mostly poetry, yes. But not quite :)
It always helps to have somebody criticize what I've written. At least THEN you know they've read it ....
You'll find pretty much constant whining here. No, I've still not QUITE grown out of it. Do we ever ?
Never ending grumbles... here we come!

This Thursday...

Assalamualaikum

This post is being wrenched out of me (for reasons that will be clear by the end of this write-up) only so that one fine day, when I have a life - I will look back on this post and think, "Did I really live through this?"

:) *rueful smile*

Maybe someday, I will be amazed by this kind of a day (which is becoming the norm now). Not to mention the flu which is not letting me go :S.

maashAllah..you are inspiring unproductive guys like me...may Allah swt protect your deen and keep you getting closer to Him with every moment, even in these busy times...may your pursuit of skills become a means for you getting closer to Allah swt's love and pleasure as well and never the other way...aameen!

About Me

I love reading. Arguing about something worthwhile is my favorite pastime. Limericks bring joy to me. I smile at the elderly - and I love playing with kids.
Life is strange. I'd like to decipher it ..and soon. Since it's way too short too!
Religion is my passion..Quran and Arabic are two of the main things I intend to understand soon.. Insha Allah.
I would like to know what quantum computing is ...
Coherent ? Bet not :P
